The article misses some key things I would throw out there, here's to hoping they come to value with you.
1. Bake rules into your workflow. For instance, enforce daily or semi-daily standups. Make git commits a portion of things in those - so everybody has to say what they've done in git commits (obviously, this isn't 100% of things). Other coders on the team will be annoyed by the person who isn't committing code daily, so this will mean that coder is admitting not to you, but to them, they're playing by different rules.
2. Force them to write design docs for implementing new technologies, before they're implemented. Then write a retrospective about how things went over, a week or two after the project is launched (things that were unexpected?). This can serve as documentation, but adds a bit more clarity to the overhead that comes with these changes, which is easy to miss when you're in the thick of things. Perhaps it's all they need to understand what kind of complexity they're adding (or what kind of simplicity you're not giving them credit for).
